I had a problem with the main tuning knob on my IC-737 and was afraid that
the encoder went south on me. I used a small amount of Tri-Flow and the
tuning knob began to work like new. Tri-Flow can be found most anywhere.
Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, ACE H/W, etc. It is easily available and as far
as I'm concerned superior to WD-40. It is a teflon based lubricant.
Nothing magical about it.
